The Doctors: Shark Attack Saved Man’s Life?

The Doctors kicked off their November 24 episode by talking about a man named Eugene who was attacked by a shark in California, leaving him with intense chest and back pain. Because he was experiencing irregular breathing, he visited the hospital where it was determined that he had internal bleeding from blunt-force trauma. They also discovered, in that CAT scan, that he had a kidney on his tumor that was likely cancerous. The shark attack inadvertently saved his life! He was set up with an oncologist and surgeon, who removed the tumor from his kidney, so he’s now cancer free!

Before moving on, The Doctors shared that more than half of all shark attacks occur in California.
